Car 1: 87 Legend L Sedan

Good shocks for a 87 sedan?

All I can find for my year of sedan online is KYB or Monroe. I would like Tokico or Bilsteins, but I can only find them for newer sedans and coupes. Anybody know of any options? I currently have totally shot KYB's. And to anybody telling me to look or search, I have already spents hours of searching. Thanks.

Because of the change in design to the rear suspension on sedans, Bilstein only makes fronts:

Bilstein Electronic Catalog

Tokico doesnt even list 86-88 Sedans, although the fronts should still work:

Tokico Gas Shocks - ACURA

For the rears, Monroe and KYB is really all that is available to us UNLESS we can find a comparable performance shock from another application.

Also, it seems that Kragen lists Eibach Lowering Springs on theri website?? While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com

Why are you giving me links that don't fit my application? This is why I started this thread. I had already seen that site.

the only option you have for the rear of 87 sedan is KYB gr-2

the fronts u can choose anything because from 86-90 is all the same.

Bilsteins for rear of 86-88 sedan...

In my travels recently I found these....check them out, as they list as they will work....They list the 89-90 sedan and coupes separately. hhmmmmm....

Bilstein Heavy Duty Shock/Strut - Rear :: Shock/Strut :: Suspension :: Import Replacement Parts

Bilstein Heavy Duty Shock/Strut - Rear :: Shock/Strut :: Suspension :: Import Replacement Parts

These both look the same, so you might need to talk to a live person to clarify, but it's promising. Let us know if it pans out.
